Bios Mods -The Best BIOS Update and Modification Source

It is for a Dell Inspiron 3168.  It would also cover the 3167, and several sub-models, so hopefully this can help other people as well.


URL of BIOS from manufacturer:
https://www.dell.com/support/home/en-us/drivers/driversdetails?driverid=2try6&oscode=wt64a&productcode=inspiron-11-3168-2-in-1-laptop
The BIOS version is 2.3.0
"Aptio Setup Utility - American Megatrends, Inc."


This next part is a bit of a mess but I thought more information might prove to be better than just the Vender and Device ID:
PCI ID of factory WIFI card:
Class [0280]
Vendor [168c] (Atheros)
Device [0036] (QCA9565/AR9565)
SVendor [1028] (Dell)
SDevice [020e]
Revision [01]

And of course, I understand that things can go wrong.  I will be testing first on an old motherboard of the same model first (a crummy one with soldered ram and eMMC, but uses the same BIOS).

Same problem here, no one in this blog doesn't care about Dell BIOS Modding.

I'm surprised.  Its just an AMI Aptio 4 BIOS isn't it?

What would be the difference in practice of doing the same mod on the HPs or Lenovos with that same AMI BIOS?

Maybe this will require a bounty.
